Former Microsoft Chief Technology Officer Nathan Myhrvold talks about the ultimate hamburger, venture capital and what he thinks of the "patent troll" labels that sometimes get attached to him in the latest episode of Media Space.

Host Hanson Hosein, director of The University of Washington's Master of Communication in Digital Media, spends the first half of the program discussing Myhrvold's new 2,400 page cook book, with the latter half of the show devoted to topics related to innovation. Here's what Myhrvold had to say about coming up with inventions, a hot-button issue for sure.

"Ideas comes to me. Or, I see ideas of other people, and I recognize them. I certainly use many ideas that I didn't originate myself because originating the idea yourself is -- it is great if you have a good idea, but if someone else has a better idea you should be open to using theirs."
